Help keep your tires in contact with the road and filter out noise, vibration and harshness with this Monroe shock absorber, the Monroe Restore 210233. It installs as a direct-fit replacement at the rear of the 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota and the 1998-2003 Dodge Durango. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific details.
Monroe designs its Restore shock absorbers for consistent performance. They provide a high level of handling and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.
- Improves performance: A nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade.
- Control and durability: A banded piston helps reduce friction between the piston and the pressure tube. This makes the shock more responsive to changing road surfaces for smooth operation.
- Performance and engineering: Designed and validated for consistent performance, and engineered for quality you can count on.
- Expanded coverage: The Restore line is offered for domestic and import passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs.
As a rear suspension shock absorber, this unit dampens spring movement to help control body motion over bumps and dips. Signs a shock may need replacing include:
- excessive bouncing after bumps
- body sway
- squat under acceleration
- uneven tire wear
- fluid leaking from the shock body
Replacing rear shocks as a matched pair is recommended for even, balanced handling.
